“July was hot, looking forward to August!”
August
is here and wow have the packers been busy this summer! I didn't
get to join them so far, but they have supported a lot of trail crews
so far! Hopefully the temps cool down a bit, because the valley
has been too hot.
Doug and I joined some friends for a ride up to the Tripod Lookout station. It was about 12 miles RT but some miles could be shaved off by driving up the forestry road a ways. We didn't know if we would get turned around so we rode all the way up. There was a big snowbank just below the lookout, which is manned this summer. Gorgeous views all the way around and a pretty good trail. I used nippers as I rode (speed pruning, as my friend calls it), and we pulled out an electric chainsaw once, but it wasn't really needed.
We are moving to a bigger property on Frozen Dog so will be busy for a while.
Happy Trails!
